Merry Christams

Hi!

 

I want to take this time to wish you a very happy holiday and I hope 2006 is even better for you than 2005.

 

I want to thank you for being a member of my newsletter and I hope we can continue our relationship in the future.

 

I want to share a story with you that gives hope to all of us that we can make our dreams come true.

 

Last year I had a member post on my guestbook how he felt he was being exploited by Guru's. He felt the only way they make money online was by telling others how

to make money online... You know the deal.

 

It turns out, he was just frustrated, like many of us get when we can taste success so bad and it hurts when others have it and we struggle to find it.

 

So I asked him to call me and I spoke to him so firm words of truth and stop the self pity nonsense. Then we looked at how he was marking and we made some

small adjustments.

 

Basically, we focused on list building and relationship marketing and making some joint venture partners thru real relationships by meeting people in person.

 

He took my advice to heart and I consulted him on his first project. He is a very bright guy, so he did not need the consulting as much as he needed the kick in the butt

and a mental colon cleanse to realize that he really could do whatever he set his mind to.

 

You see, he was buried in debt. hated his hard working Low paying job, had new babies in the home, and his finances were putting stress on his marriage. (Sound

familiar?)

 

Since we spoke, he has been to several offline events and seminars. He has made JV partner and relationships with some of the biggest names in marketing.

 

Fast forward only 8 months.

 

He is now debt free and making more money online each month than he makes at his job. I did not ask him permission, but I would like to share the email he just sent to me.

 

I am the guy the cries (yes, it's true) in movies- or when you see that 60 year reunion on TV from 2 kids separated at a young age during WWII in Germany.

 

So when I read this email he sent me, my eyes watered up. Without getting mushy... his email made my Christmas.

 

Here is his email to me...

 

I want to remind you to follow your dreams. Make 2006 a great year. Remember, we do this so we can have a better life not only for us, but for our families.

 

The entrepreneurial spirit is one of the greatest gifts you can have in a free society. Don't let anyone poison your mind and remember to think positive. - Fire your negative friends and make sure to become what you know you can in your heart.

 

 

I wish you and your family a happy holiday and the best of health to all of you.

 

So feel free to respond to this email and to wish our fellow members a happy holiday on my guestbook here:

The Coolest Guy On The Planet - A Mike Filsaime SEO Experiment

The Coolest Guy On The Planet - SEO Experiment

Brad Fallon, friend of mine, is known as one of, if not, the premier SEO expert in the world. He and his fellow buddies, Andy Jenkins, Brad Callen, and others have a friendly game to see who can be number one in Google and yahoo for

THE COOLEST GUY ON THE PLANET

While playing Blackjack in Las Vegas with Brad, he told me he was number one for that search term, I thought he was kidding. But I found it to be true and he told me of this competition he has with his other friends. So I told him I was going to get the domain. He looked and me and we both almost ran each other over to run to our rooms and get the domain name.

Well, I WON! - I got the domain name before he could.

To see how I am trying to go from Not RANKED in the search engines and my quest to be number one and knock off the king using article submission services, you may want to read the article here...

http://www.the-coolest-guy-on-the-planet.com/

This is a real case study to see if back links from articles really work (we know they do) and how well they work. I hope you find it fun to track this over the next few weeks and months.

Thanks,

Mike Filsaime

P.S. Lots of people found the site because I linked it to my homepages to get index in Google. When they arrived at the site they must have thought I had a real big head. Anyways, it is all in fun and really very calculated and it will be a learning experience for me. There are ways to have fun and learn at the same time and I hope you find this enjoying while you learn with me.

Mike Filsaime the Actor??

Re: Me on the Joe and Mable Show
(Link to listen below)



Hi,

I hope you liked my last email yesterday about my trip in Europe.

In that email I told you that I had 3 emails for you in the next 3 days that were COOL and FUNNY.

Well, for the 1ST one of 3, I may be NUTS but I think you will find this site a fresh spin on marketing.

Here is a site that FRESH and FUNNY.

I was a guest "ACTOR" on the show this month.

(No Academy Awards here for me)

So if you want to know some personal secrets about how I suffer from obsessive - compulsive habits (such as having to do things in even numbers on both sides of my body, LOL) you may find this pretty funny. I even let you in on my simple "Macaroni and Cheese" style Mickey Mouse Diet.

(I like simple frozen foods and Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee and Ellio's Pizza)

So now that you know that I am a "not-so-normal" head case with a bad diet, try not to laugh to much when you hear this fun audio.

Thanks,

Mike Filsaime

P.S.
If you want to tell me I am nuts (I already know), just go to  www.replytomike.com

P.P.S.
Don't forget to look out for the next 2 emails I have to share with you about some great stuff I came across recently...
